This was 22 years ago... it's honestly so tiring to see people use this as a "got 'em!" argument. Times change, businesses change. This is not a case of ideology.

I feel this is a good question, but alone may be a step too far, too abstract to provide insight. At least without guidance. Isn't the honest answer "I don't know. No-one knows."?

Great points, thank you. You also helped me realize that part of all this mess is that I HAVE been feeling old. Well, maybe not old... older. I feel like I got hyper-focused on being a programmer (and I feel I never explicitly committed to

Thank you! Something I realized when reading your response is that I winced a tiny bit when you mentioned "finding meaning in your work" - as if that was something I did not believe could be achieved. I think in my mind it's

Hey, thanks for your input! These are good questions. Funny thing. A few months ago I've also decided to improve my communication skills - both in reading and writing. (Long way to go...) It did hit me that whatever I end up doing in t

Interesting point! I think there's something to it. Forgive me if my central European bias is showing, but I've always discounted how important it is to align yourself with the mission of the company you decide to work for. Seemed

Using the sorted() built-in returns a new sorted array. Getting keys from a dictionary is literally just calling dict.keys(). Sorry, but I don't think you've used Python enough to offer lists like these.

Boy, have I! Acting on it, though... :-) Life seems balanced now, I get to scratch my itches, not unhappy at my current job, and I don't feel like I'm saying "no" and making excuses. A tiny step here, a tiny step there,

Modeling vehicle dynamics as a whole is a great subject, because there are so many parts where you have to explicitly decide on how much you wish to simulate. Brakes, tires, suspension, vibration transfer... On one hand you can have a simul

Is anything ever? Why is there such a strong tendency towards treating things as a this-is-it(-this-time-for-real) thing? This only confuses people and muddles up expectations.

A bit of a plug, but you should check out this thing I built! Go to https://hackattic.com - It's just a test of an idea, but I wanted to show people it's possible to come up with no-nonsense, more real-world-y challen

I'm glad you like the idea! It's a pretty standard Django app. Some bland Docker trickery around generating the actual challenges/problems, but that's probably it. Simplicity was definitely a goal. I wanted to waste the

Hey guys, I hacked that thing up ^ A few words of background - I was always sort of frustrated how unbelievably dull the usual programming challenges are. I mean all those nearly pure CS-y things that make you invert binary trees and stuff.

You said it yourself - the lack of direct equivalents is nothing special. What is amusing however, is how in some languages you'll find a lot of "untranslatables" grouped around a particular concept or theme. Language X may h

Hey, thanks! There's actually a lot of the stock react-create-app CSS in there. As for the parsing, it's done on the back-end, front simply fetches an AST every time input changes.
